INGERSOLL: The Whimpering Death Of AmericaAs Pastimes, Brought To You
By Online Gambling
THE END OF SPORTS
Graham Gano wants out. He used to be one of the best kickers in the
NFL. An absolute sniper. But hearing him talk, itAs clear heAs finished.
WhatAs getting to GanoAs morale is more than just battlefield
weariness, however.
oEver since sports betting started, I get people telling me to kill
myself every week,o he told reporters in the locker room. oBecause IAll
hit a kick that loses them money, or IAll miss a kick and it loses them
money. The other day, somebody told me to get cancer and die.o
ThereAs a long history of fan vitriol for kickers. God bless Scott
Norwood, who missed a chip shot to lose a Super Bowl for the Buffalo
Bills 30-some-odd years ago.
This vitriol is different. ItAs not the desperation that springs from a
deep love for the home team. ItAs a chorus of degenerate voices who are betting their kidsA college funds from the very couches in their homes,
via mobile apps that have sprung up in the last ten years and taken
over all of gaming.
